Megan Bettenberg, LPC

Megan Bettenberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and concerns related to LGBT identity and self-esteem. She takes a practical, person-centered approach and focuses on building real skills for everyday life. Sessions aim to be collaborative and respectful of each person’s pace and goals.

Her work centers on identifying strengths people already have and using them to meet current challenges. Megan uses clear, concrete techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and emotional reactions. She helps people develop routines and coping tools to improve focus, mood, and confidence.

Megan draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to keep therapy collaborative, and Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness.

Over five years of practice, she has helped people sort through relationship patterns, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and finances.

Megan works in English and practices across Colorado. Her sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, users select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Megan’s approaches translate to online therapy

Megan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning, which can help with anxiety, depression, and attention struggles. DBT teaches practical skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for strong emotions and relationship patterns.

She also uses a Client-Centered approach that emphasizes listening, empathy, and working together to set goals. Deciding which approach to use is a team effort - the therapist and client will try out techniques and adjust based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Megan’s focus online will remain the same: practical skill building, routine planning, and coaching in moment-to-moment coping to help therapy fit into everyday life.
